lyrics

I like the way the pavement feels under my wheels,
I like the way that it feels.
I like the rumble, roar and the thunder of steel.
I like the way that it feels.
It's giving me something, something I'm given,
Oh baby let's do some living,
after we'll die,
after we'll die.

I spent half of my life,
asleep at the wheel.
I've taken more bad advice than I could steal.

I like the way that the wind blows through my hair,
just like I'm not even there.
I like the heat, warmth on the seat and the wheel.
I like the way that it feels.
It's giving me something, something I'm given,
Oh baby let's do some living,
after we'll die,
after we'll die.

I spent half of my life,
asleep at the wheel.
I've taken more bad advice than I could steal.
I've given up and I've lost all hope,
give it all I've got till I ain't got no more.
All I really wanted was to settle the score,
squared and even,
squared and even.
